That is quite normal. Intel is known to have more slack in their chips' specifications in terms of pushing it to the limit than their competitors. (Whether that's good or bad, I won't say. :)

This isn't *necessarily* true. (Although it may be for many of the newer chips.) If you look at 486-class CPUs, I can't run my Intel DX2/66 chip anything higher than 66 Mhz or it won't boot. On the other hand, I have a couple of AMD-133 chips running at 150 and 160 Mhz... The one that runs FreeBSD as a communications server, web server, mail host, etc. etc:

Hmm... My uptime is even getting up there. Nifty. :)
